SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,378, dated January17, 1905.

Application lilecl February 13, 1904, Serial No. 193,455.

To a/ZZ whom t may con/cern:

Be it known that I, GAETANO PALLADINO, a citizen of the United States,residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso, State ofTeXas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Chimneys; and I dohereby declare the following lto be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to chimneys or smokestacks; and it has for itsobject to provide a construction'wherein there will be an efficientfeeding of air into the chimney to insure complete combustion, so thatthere will be no smoke'emitted fromthe top of the chimney. A furtherobject of the invention is to provide a chimney of such constructionthat it may be readily built of various heights to satisfy differentspecific conditions without affecting the principle of operation of thechimney. l

A further object of the invention is to provide a construction which maybe embodied in either a single or a multiple flue chimney.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views,Figure 1 is an elevation showing the invention embodied ina single-finechimney.

the vchimney shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of oneof the sections of V'the chimney, showing a portion of the wing at oneside thereof. Fig. 4 is atop plan view of the chimney shown in Fig. 1.-Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on line 5 5 of Fig. 1 just below the topcorner. Fig. 6 is la view similar to Fig. 1, showing the inventionembodied in a chimney having two lues. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectionthrough' thechimney shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a top plan view of thedouble chimney with thev cap removed, the position of the latter beingindicated by dotted lines.

Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to Figs. 1 to5,inclusive,the chimney shown therein comprises a base which isrectangular, as illustrated, and which comber 11, set thereon, this basein practice being disposed directly upon the body of the chimney atthelevel of the roof, the body Vof the chimney signifying that portion ofthe chimney that is below the level of the roof. The sections 10 and 11have each a central rectangular opening 12 formed verticallytherethrough, and through two of the opposite sides of the member 10 areformed rectangular openings 13,the section 11 being without openings inits sides. Upon the section 11 is placed a section 14 of reducedexterior diameter and through which is also a vertical vrectangularpassage 12,with which communicate the openings 15 in two of the oppositesides of said sections, the openings 15 being directly above or in thesame sidesof the completed chimney as are the openings 13. Upon thesection 14 is disposed a section 16 of the same dimensions and similarin every Away to the section 14, with the .exception that it has noopenings in its sides. Upon the section 16 is disposed a section 17,similar in every way to the section 14, and upon the section 17 isdisposed a section 18, similar in every way to the sec? tion 16,'thechimney being continued to the proper height, with the exception of thehead and cap, 'by adding alternately sections similar, respectively, tothe sections 14 and 16.

yplate 22 there projects upwardly at an acute angle a baffleplate 24,which extends upwardly into the section 11, the base of the plate 24being substantially midway of the height of the section 10. From theinner wall of the section 11, slightly above the bottom thereof and atthe opposite side from the plate 24, there projects upwardly .at anacute angle a baiiie-plate 26, the upper edge of which is From the sideof the passage in the plane of the top of the section 11. The succeedingsections of the chimney are provided with baffle-plates 28, 29, 30, 31,32, 33, and 34, respectively, which project alternately from oppositesides of the continuous flues 12, each of these baiiieplates rising fromthe bottom of its respective section at an acute angle to the latter andterminating in the plane of the top of its section. lith thisarrangement ot' bathe-plates the smoke in rising through the chimneywill havea Zig- Zag cou-rse and will pass iirst to one side and then tothe other of the chimney. Furthermore, as the smoke passes upwardlythrough the chimney it serves to draw air into the chimney through theopenings in the sides of the alternate sections, and this air in mixingwith the smoke supplies suiiicient additional oxygen to insure completecombustion, so that no smoke is discharged from the top of the chimney.The uppermost one of the sections having a baiiieeplate is a sectionhaving openings through its sides, and upon this uppermost section isdisposed the bottom section 35 of the head of the chimney, which saidsection has also a central vertical opening or Hue 12, which alines orregisters with the similar openings in the sections below. The member 35is rectangular in cross-section and is of greater diameter than thesections therebelow, so that it projects therebeyond, and upon thissection 35 is disposed a section 36 of the same exterior dimensions, theshape of these members 35 and 36 in top plan being the shape of a crossof St. George, the member 36 comprising exterior walls,within which is asimilar cross-shaped inclosure. From the sides and bottom of theoverhanging portion of the member 35 there lead upwardly the passages37, which communicate with the end portions of the inclosure of themember 36, so that smoke may pass from the member 36 downwardly andoutwardly through these passages 37. Upon the member 36 is disposed acap 38, beyond which at the sides thereof project the end portions ofthe cross-shaped inclosure of the mem ber 36, the cap 38 having anupwardly tapering opening 39 therethrough, the lower-end portion ofwhich registers with or alines with the passages or fines 12, abovereferred to. It will thus be seen that smoke from the member 36 may passalso upwardly and outwardly through the lopenings 40 between the member36 and the cap 38 and may pass also in part upwardly through the opening39. The chimney thus has nine openings in the head thereof, throughwhich the smoke may be discharged.

In a chimney having two lines, such as illustrated in Figs. 6, 7, and 8,the general arrangement is the same as that above illustrated, thesections that are built one upon another to form the chimney having thesame heights as the corresponding sections in the single chimney, andthesame breadths, but having greater lengths, to permit of an intermediatetransverse partition 5() in each section, which divides that sectioninto two lilies .12 and 12. The baiiie-plates 23 and 23H are arrangedone in each ofthe lines in the body ol the chimney 20' and project inthe same manner as the baiiieplate 22, each ol the sections ol thechimney beginning with the lower basesection 10 and ending with thesection directly below the lower head-section 35, having` in each of itsfines a baiiie-plate corresponding exactly in position and in everyother way with the baiiie-plate in the corresponding section of thesingle-fl ue chimney. Furthermore, each alternate section of thesesections which have baiiie-plates therein, beginning with the section10', has openings 13 in its end. The head of the chimney comprises asection 36', corresponding to the section 36, anda cap 38',corresponding to the cap 38, the sections 35 and 36 and the cap 38'having also cach a transverse partition 50, which divides its inclosureinto two parts corresponding to and communicating with the divisions ofthe inelosures of the sections therebclow.

The passage of air into each fine ot' the double chimney above describedis the same as into the single liuc of the single chimney, the head ofthe double chimney, however, having seven openings for passage of smokefrom each of the iiues.

The bodyof the chimney shown in Fig. 2 is illustrated as having afireplace 51 at the bottom thereof, from which leads thcgraduallytapered iiue 52, which has a serpentine course upwardly throughthe body of the chimney and the upper end ot' which communicates withand is of the same diameter as the opening 12 in the lower member 10 ofthc base of the chimney, meaning the base of that portion of the chimneywhich is above the 1ooi-linc. Through the body of the chimney orchimney-breast there is formed a vertical air-passage 53, whichcommunicates with the under side of a laterally-directed portion of theline 52, and a second air-passage 54 communicates with the under portiono1 the iiuc 52 at the upper end of the latter, so that air may be fed tothe iiue 52.

lV hat is claimed is- 1. A chimney having oppositely-disposed lateralopenings at regular intervals ol: its length, baffle-plates disposedwithin the chimney between the openings at one side oi the chimney andarranged to direct the smoke laterally away from said openings andtoward those at the opposite side of the chimney and a baliieplatedisposed below each ot' the lastmentioned openings and arranged todirect the smoke away from them and toward the l'irstmentioned openings.

2. A chimney having lateral openings at intervals of its height,baiiie-plates disposed within the chimney between the openings andarranged to direct the smoke laterally away IOO from the openings, andadditional baffle-plates opposite to the openings arranged to direct thesmoke toward the openings.

3. A chimney comprising a body, a head and intermediate sections, thebody having a serpentine flue extending upwardly therethrough, and saidintermediate sections having a straight flue with which the serpentineiiue communicates` the body portion having an air-passage extendingupwardly therethrough and communicating with the serpentine `fluethrough the under side of a-laterally-directed portion thereof. 1

4. A chimney comprising a body and upper sections thereabove adapted toproject above a .roof-line, the body having a serpentine iue extendingupwardly therethrough and said upper sections having a straight liucwith which the serpentine flue communicates, the

body, having an air-passage extending up- 2O through their sides andbaiie-plates disposed. 25

to give to the smoke a serpentine course.
